Afghanistan has been a neglected campaign for some time, thanks in large part to the messianic pursuit of a Mesopotamian mirage that consumed partisans on the right for much of the Bush administration. I can recall hearing time and time again that Iraq was the “central front in the war on terror.” Now right wing hawks have suddenly decided that Afghanistan ought to be our real focus again. It's leadership like this that makes me thank God these guys don’t call the shots anymore.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ypnation.net/blogs/partisan-politicking-endangering-our-troops-afghanistan"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ypnation.net/img/5213D400-12AE-44BF-90F5-86F4BEF1FCCF" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D2D6BDD6-CD31-4258-836C-846D800AB9EC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
